Mathematics Homework Solutions

Banach Space

Let I = [a,b] be a finite interval. Show that the space C(I,R^n) of continous functions from I into R^n is a Banach space with the uniform norm llull = sup l u(t) l where t is in I. (Show that this is a norm and that C(I,R^n) is complete) See attached file. Please be very detailed when answering question.

Multiplicative groups

(See attached file for full problem description) --- a) Recall the following definitions of the multiplicative groups GLn(k) and SLn(k) over a field k: GLn(k)={invertible n x n matrices over k} SLn(k)={A in GLn(k) such that the determinant of A=1} Prove th ...continues

Find the orbit and stabilizer of the given matrix under multiplication by matrices of the specified type.

Find the orbit and stabilizer of the 2 X 2 matrix M under the action of multiplication of M by the matrices in GL_2(R), where the top row of M is (1 0) and the bottom row is (0 2). [That is, m_11 = 1, m_12 = 0, m_21 = 0, and m_22 = 2.] See attached file for full problem description.
